HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — The Alabama State cross country program delivered one of its most complete team performances of the season at the UAH Chargers Invitational on Saturday, highlighted by a string of personal bests from both the men's and women's squads at John Hunt Cross Country Park.

The women's team continued its momentum, with six athletes setting either personal or season-best times, led by a dominant effort from Aliyah Williams, who placed 22nd overall with a personal record time of 22:06.54.

Fellow senior Ann Badawi was right on her heels, finishing 23rd with another personal record of 22:07.00, securing a strong one-two finish for the Lady Hornets in the top 25.

Senior Teresa Gallegos followed with a personal record of 23:12.79, while junior Shone Walter continued her upward trajectory, crossing the line in 23:41.80 — also a career best.
